Ifmorethanonecharacteristic(biopsy,tomosynthesis,contrastenhanced)appliestoanimage,Value3shallcontainthebiopsyimage type. If biopsy is not involved, Value 3 shall contain the tomosynthesis image type.
Note
For example, Attributes of the Contrast/Bolus Module may be used to identify contrast enhanced characteristics of a biopsy and/or tomosynthesis projection or generated 2D image that is also contrast enhanced.
Value 4 shall be present for images acquired using contrast enhanced digital X-Ray imaging of the breast (but may be empty if none of the Defined Terms applies), and for mathematically generated 2D images. For other images Value 4 remains optional and imple- mentation specific.

GENERATED_2D |
Mathematically generated 2D view. |
ADDITION |
Created through Pixel by pixel addition operation. |
SUBTRACTION |
Created through Pixel by pixel subtraction operation. |
If more than one characteristic (contrast enhanced, tomosynthesis) applies to an image, Value 4 shall contain the contrast enhanced image type. If contrast enhanced is not involved, Value 4 shall contain the generated 2D image type.
Value 5 shall be present for images acquired using contrast enhanced digital X-Ray imaging of the breast, but may be empty if none of the Defined Terms applies. For non-contrast images Value 5 remains optional and implementation specific.
